Default ghostviewer Installetion problem

Hello everyone, I'm trying to install ghostviewer on windows vista but fails to do so, everything goes smooth till the end where it says installation fail. I installed ghostscript already, but I don't know if I can work just with that. I guess i need to install the viewer right?
Thanks for all your help.

You need the viewer, I've never had a problem installing on Vista. Are you using the right package?

That's OK for a 32 bit processor.
What's the error message that you get?

Check your Programs, try to uninstall anything that's in the Ghostgum folder and retry?

I finally got it, thank you very much for your help.
One question:
How do you print halftones from photoshop cs3? I tried but the printer dialog doesn't give me any postscript printer like illustrator does.

I separated an image in photoshop and placed it in illustrator and I was able to print it out with halftones. I am so happy. It is a nice feeling. I don't know if that is how you guys do it but certainly it works for me.

Just drop the image in AI and do the seps from there? You don't need to separate before?

No, I did the seps in Photoshop and then droped it in AI an I guess the program recognizes the spot colors.
